Products that can be refilled, repaired and reused are overtaking products and packaging which can only be recycled. Multifunctional products that offer multiple living solutions are now top of mind as purse strings tighten and eco-awareness hits an all-time high.

EXTRA-MILE

Home fitness, wellness and sleep products are seeing 10x growth. Air care and sterilization innovations are launching entirely new product categories. As multi-generational families spend more time in the home, innovative space division and planning for a new kind of family home is critical.

HEALTH + WELLTH
+
Transparency is no longer a choice. Consumers — particularly Millennials and Gen Z — are demanding honest and ethical behavior from the brands that they invest in. Diversity, equity and inclusion, stakeholder-focus and corporate social responsibility practices are now paramount. Products created using sustainable methods; products created using ethical labor and environmental principles; and products that are built to last and encourage repair and reuse vs replace.
